How to compile visual C++ program with additional libraries

Question

I defined source & header -"MathCore.h" & "MathCore.cpp" MathCore.h as below code :

#ifdef MATHCORE_EXPORTS
#define MATHCORE_API __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define MATHCORE_API __declspec(dllimport)
#endif

MATHCORE_API bool isPowOf_Two(unsigned int n);
MATHCORE_API bool isFormOf_tpnmo(unsigned int n);
MATHCORE_API int isolate_LST( int x);


// This class is exported from the MathCore.dll
class MATHCORE_API MathEngine {
public:
    MathEngine(void);
    // TODO: add your methods here.
};

extern MATHCORE_API int nMathCore;

MATHCORE_API int fnMathCore(void);

and I generated lib - "MathCore.lib" and respective dll-"MathCore.dll" from visual studio 2008,then I created C++ source file-"t.cpp" in a different folder which uses functions defined in MathCore,for simplicity I put MathCore.lib and MathCore.dll within same folder. t.cpp as following

#pragma comment(lib, "MathCore.lib")
#include <iostream>
#include "MathCore.h"

using namespace std;

MATHCORE_API bool isPowOf_Two(unsigned int n);
MATHCORE_API bool isFormOf_tpnmo(unsigned int n);

int main()
{

    while(1){
    unsigned int x;
    cin>>x;
    cout<<isPowOf_Two(x)<<"\n";
    cout<<x<<"\n";
    }
    system("Pause");
    return 0;
}

My problem is.. without using Visual Studio I want to compile the t.cpp using batch file say -"run.bat" so I included "vcvarsall.bat" and "vcvars32.bat" to same source folder,my "run.bat" commands like this ....

@echo off
call "vcvarsall.bat"
call "vcvars32.bat"
echo off
cl /O2 t.cpp /link MathCore.lib
@if ERRORLEVEL == 0 (
goto good
)

@if ERRORLEVEL != 0 (
goto bad
)

:good
echo "clean compile"
echo %ERRORLEVEL%
goto end

:bad
echo "error or warning"
echo %ERRORLEVEL%
goto end

:end

when I run "run.bat" it creates "t.obj" without "t.exe" I think it does not link MathCore.lib,I want to know how to compile visual C++ source with additional libraries and includes in commandline I chekc visual studio commandline arguements It was not help me to solve this problem.

PLEASE ANYONE KNOW EXACT COMMANDLINE ARGUEMENTS TO COMPILE A VISUAL C++ SOURCE FILE WITH NEEDED LIBS and Header FILES please refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/610ecb4h.aspx

Answer 1

Without khowing actual error It will be difficult to say.

I created one sample lib and tried to link it. To make it work, I changed line below.

cl /O2 t.cpp /link MathCore.lib

to

cl /O2 t.cpp /MDd MathCore.lib

Would be nice if you run *.bat (run.bat, in your case) and paste the error here.
